Chapter 233: The Wind Rises

When the queen died, the whole country was shocked.

White flags flutter on the streets of Zhencheng.

In the inner courtyard of the heavily guarded palace, there were actually the remnants of the Huoluo Sect, colluding with Gao Pengfei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, to assassinate the emperor, but he accidentally injured the queen.

The emperor was furious, although Gao Pengfei had been ambushed, but the remnants of the Huoluo Sect had fled, and he personally issued an edict ordering the king to impose martial law, close all the city gates, and arrest the escaped Huoluo remnants within a time limit.

The silk of Lanfu has already been removed and replaced with white flags.

It made the people in the city sigh.

Strange to say, this Lan Mansion has not had any good things since the early spring.

First of all, Lan Zong, the eldest prince of Changfang, went to the city of Paile with the royal car, and was assassinated in the state guesthouse.

At the night banquet of Tongwu Garden of the Blessing Lantern Festival, the lord of Tianjiao Tianlan and the son of the Zeng family were caught and raped in the royal forbidden place and sent to the big prison.

Queen Lan was seriously ill and almost lost the emperor's favor for a month, and not long after the Lord Lan was released, she was also seriously ill and died.

Although there are also rumors that the second son of Lanfu rebelled against humanity and had a longing for the proud daughter of this day, and wanted to do something wrong but did not succeed, he was angry and killed her.

Then, the remnants of the Huoluo Sect reappeared in the palace, colluding with the commander of the Ouchi Forbidden Army to assassinate the emperor, and the queen was assassinated.

The autumn rain is Xiaoxiao, and this day is the fifth day of Lan Mengyao's suspension.

There was a murderous atmosphere in the Lan Mansion, Jin Yumei hid in the courtyard for half a step and did not dare to step out, her mother-in-law was crazy, her father-in-law and other people in the mansion looked at her with very subtle expressions, as if she was a bad star, since the day she married in, there was no good thing in the Lan Mansion, first it was haunted, and then Lan Mengyao was seriously ill, and then the bad news came the day before yesterday, General Gao trespassed into the forbidden place of the inner palace, colluded with the remnants of the Huoluo Sect hidden in the palace, and wanted to assassinate the king, and the queen was unfortunately assassinated.

In this eventful autumn, what makes her panic and happy is that she seems to be pregnant, she calculates the menstrual affairs, half a month late, she and Lan Jingshuo did have a skin-to-skin relationship before marriage, since the day of the wedding, Lan Jingshuo has been busy with the westward expedition, and has not set foot in her yard, could it be that she was pregnant at that time?

However, she has secretly sent someone out of the house to inform her mother's family, if her mother can bring a trustworthy female doctor to come over to diagnose her pulse, it would be the best, and now the atmosphere of Lanfu is like this, if it is empty joy, then it will be even more difficult for her to gain a foothold in this mansion.

Today, Lan Jingxuan came with the news that she would have lunch in her yard, and she ordered the servants to prepare early.

Lan Jingshuo stepped into the main house covered in rain, and when he saw her waiting at the table and looking at him with a smile, he also smiled perfunctorily at her, and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Moved by her husband's rare warm care, her nose was a little sour, and she said softly: "When the concubine's body changes, it will be like this, and the husband doesn't have to worry." ”

Of course, Lan Jingxuan was not worried, he repeatedly asked to see Jin Shikang, but he was always rejected by the other party on the pretext, which made him very annoyed, but thinking of the identity of the other party's general Wu and the power under the Shenwu Battalion, he could only swallow it with anger, Jin Yumei was Jin Shikang's only daughter, and he could only start from her.

"The expedition is imminent, and the army is busy with affairs, so I left you out in the cold, sorry. He took Jin Yumei's hand and said softly: "I haven't had time to accompany you back to the door, tomorrow my father-in-law's family will come to worship in front of my sister's spirit, I have ordered someone to clean up the Grace Garden, you can accompany them well and help me say a few good words." ”

Jin Yumei's warm heart had already softened, and all the grievances were gone, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, the concubine knows." ”

Lan Jingxuan leaned over and hugged her with a smile, a deep calculation flashing in her eyes.

The next day, the rain stopped, but the sky was terriblely dark, and I saw a torrential rain fall.

The queen monopolized the power during her lifetime, vigorously promoted the power of her relatives, and the important positions in the royal capital were deeply tied with the power of her relatives, and after the fall of Zengfu, there were still Wenchen Jin Shangshu, Gu Yong, and the military generals Gao Baixun who guarded the southwest border, Jin Shikang, the commander of the Shenwu battalion, and Gao Pengfei, the commander of the palace forbidden army, etc.

Now that the Gao family has such a major event, the clouds of the Gao Mansion are shrouded in fear, but they have not waited for the black-clothed soldiers to arrest the surrounding mansion, and it is even more difficult to sleep and eat, I don't know how to deal with the Gao family in the palace, and even the daughter who is in the Lan Mansion is crazy, and he can't take care of it, and he wrote to the old general in the southwest border overnight, but he didn't know that the secret letter had already been intercepted halfway.

The old fox Jin Xiaojie, who has not appeared for a long time, took the whole family to Lanfu today to mourn, and last night his daughter-in-law Yin Yu cried and knelt down in front of the door of his study, saying that Jin Yumei seemed to be pregnant, but she didn't dare to say anything, hoping that the family could arrange a female doctor to enter Lanfu with her to diagnose her first, whether she was really pregnant.

The thousands of petite babies in the family are walking on thin ice in Lanfu, which really makes her feel distressed.

If it weren't for Lan Jingshuo provoking her daughter to lose her body, she would never agree to her daughter marrying into the Lan Mansion, and what if she divorced from the Zeng Mansion, their Jin family's family has its own excellent sons and daughters who can choose to be good sons-in-law, instead of marrying into the cannibalistic devil's cave.

Jin Xiaojie had already heard from his son that Lan Jingxuan asked to see him many times, but was stopped by his son, this was his order, his two daughters had already lost one, and it was a big crime, and now Lan Mansion also has a sign of decline, if you look at it clearly, it is the most important thing to figure out the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor may be benevolent, but more may be jealous, and dare not uproot them to shake the dynasty, his son Jin Shikang is the Shenwu general who leads the Shenwu camp in the royal capital, if he has close contacts with Lan Jingxuan, who is about to go on the expedition, and is suspected by the emperor, it will be troublesome.

He saw very clearly that this seemingly sick and weak king, since the middle pheasant sacrifice, began to frequently kill the forces of his relatives step by step, maybe the things on the roof of the sacrifice were also a scene performed by the two brothers in the royal family.

The Lan family probably let the emperor die of illness if she got the queen pregnant and gave birth to a prince, so the Taiwei could be the regent of the dynasty and change the surname of the Zhen royal family.

But now the queen is dead! They have this idea that they are rebellious ministers and thieves.

He squinted his eyes and sat in the spacious carriage, thinking about how to temporarily distance himself from Nalan Mansion.

At this time, a commotion suddenly sounded outside, and several gorgeous carriages of the Jin Mansion were dispersed by the sudden flow of people pouring into the streets and alleys, and the neighing of horses combined with the 'boom' thunder in mid-air made people's hearts jump.

"What's the matter!" he shouted angrily, and when he lifted the curtain of the car, he found that this was the way outside the Chengtian Gate, and the people who were passing by in the wrong direction were heading to the east of Linfang.

Several carriages behind him have been pushed by the crowd and tilted their directions, and they have also followed the crowd to the street market in the east of Linfang, and the exclamations of the female relatives in the car are faintly heard, which is disturbing!

"What are you doing in a daze, go and save people!" he shouted in a deep voice as the guards around his carriage were stumbling around.

At this time, the steward hurriedly ran through the crowd and said to him: "Tell the master, Prime Minister Li Cheng personally interrogated that Fan Bing at the gate of Cao'an Temple, saying that he had found a witness to prove that Cao'an Temple was not a natural fire, but Fan Bing colluded with the Linfeng Dart Bureau in Xishi to set fire. ”

"What?" Jin Xiaojie shook his white eyebrows, extremely surprised, he didn't expect this Li Fu to move so fast, but he knew that this Lin Feng Dart Bureau had been escorting something precious for the queen, and the person who handled it was his eldest daughter, Zeng Guogong's wife Jin Wan.

Daughter Jin Wan was secretive about this and never mentioned a word, even if she didn't mention half a word before she died, of course he didn't want to know, it would definitely not be a good thing!
